Kikkerland Design has been adding whimsy and wonder to everyday life since 1992. Founded by Dutchman Jan van der Lande (who started by biking around selling clever gadgets), Kikkerland quickly became known for its fun, inventive products that blend form and function in equal measure. This brand doesn’t make typical outdoor gear, but it brings an outdoorsy, creative vibe to items you never knew you needed: think pocket-sized camping multi-tools, solar-powered gizmos, funky bike accessories, and gadgets that make you smile. Kikkerland’s mission is simple – to inspire curiosity and playfulness through design – and you’ll find their quirky creations in museum shops, gift stores, and yes, outdoor stores for a dash of fun on your adventures.
Despite the lighthearted approach, Kikkerland has a serious heart. The company actively gives back to both local and global causes, from ecological restoration projects to design programs for underserved youth. They collaborate with independent designers worldwide, often focusing on sustainable materials and innovative solutions to everyday problems. The result is a collection of ingenious items that not only make life more enjoyable but also reflect a consciousness about the world. Whether it’s a compact lantern for your campsite or a clever eco-friendly gadget for your home, Kikkerland delivers a casual, creative flair that fits right in with the outdoor spirit.
